Laser Tattoo Removal @ Cosmetic Outlook Clinic

Tattooing: The act of marking temporary or permanent image, pattern, pictures or word. This is created by using needles to put colored pigment under the skin to give a tattoo.

Tattoo removal has been performed with various tools. While tattoos were once considered permanent, it is now possible to remove them with treatments, fully or partially. Before the development of laser tattoo removal methods, the common techniques used were:

Dermabrasion: In this procedure skin will be numbed and then sanded to reveal unblemished layers of skin underneath the tattoo. Dermabrasion may or may not remove the tattoo completely. This is not recommended if one is prone to hypo or hyper pigmentation, scaring.

Salabrasion: Scrubbing the skin with salt.

Chemical peeling (TCA peel): Trichloracetic acid peel, an acid that removes the superficial layers of skin, reaching as deep as the layer in which the tattoo ink resides.

Cryosurgery: An excision which is sometimes still used along with skin grafts for larger tattoos. In cryosurgery, the tattoo is made to cool down to the extent that it is frozen down by using liquid nitrogen and the superficial layer of skin will get frosting that can be removed easily.

Chemical peels: This works by applying peeling agents and are similar in that when applied causes superficial layers of skin to frost and blister and subsequently to peel off.

Tattoo removal by laser: With Nd-yag / Q-switched laser, this became commercially available in the early 1990s. Today, laser tattoo removal, usually refers to the non-invasive removal of tattoo pigments using Q-switched lasers. Typically, black and dark colored inks can be removed more completely.

Laser tattoo Removal

In United States approximately 20 percent of population has some sort of tattoo on their body. Eventually, 50 percent of them want their tattoo removed by laser.

How laser works: Lasers remove tattoos by breaking up the pigment of colors in the tattoo with a high intensity of light beam emitting from the laser.

Black color has affinity to laser light; hence black tattoo pigment absorbs all laser wavelengths, making it easy to treat. Other colors can be treated by selected lasers based upon the pigment color using color filters.

Consider laser surgery by a reputable dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon.

Laser tattoo removal is one of the methods of tattoo removal that is none invasive, (does not involve cutting into the skin) uses pulses of light at a very high concentration to remove the tattoo. Procedure is carried out under topical / local anesthesia.
